Some [[supermarket]] chains allow customers to scan their own groceries with handheld [[barcode reader]]s while placing them in their own carts (see [[self-checkout]]). Customers can be randomly audited. While the system gives customers the ability to place groceries in their bags without paying, participating supermarkets have reported that this experimental system has not increased the amount of [[shoplifting]].<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna19276534 Wait in self-check line?

In some countries, farmers leave bags of produce beside the road outside their houses with prices affixed. Passers-by pay by leaving cash in a container. In [[Ireland]], [[New Zealand]], [[Australia]] and the [[United Kingdom]] this is called the [[honesty box]] system. In other countries, small unmanned stores are run, where customers are able to enter, obtain what they need, and pay the bill in a secure container.<ref>{{cite web|last=Basu|first=Mihika|title=Unmanned Shop|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/unmanned-shop/913972|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130126072642/http://www.indianexpress.com/news/unmanned-shop/913972|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 January 2013|publisher=Indian Express|access-date=28 October 2012}}</ref>
